RE: REISSUANCE OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION IN THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTY INVESTIGATION FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL
BEAMS FROM RUSSIA (A-462-814)


THIS MESSAGE IS BEING REISSUED TO CORRECT AN ERROR IN THE CASE
NUMBER FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS FROM RUSSIA. THE CASE NUMBER
IN THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE (MESSAGE NUMBER #2004204, DATED
01/04/2002) WAS LISTED AS CASE NUMBER A-462-114. THE CORRECT
CASE NUMBER IS A-462-814

1. ON DECEMBER 28, 2001, THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PUBLISHED IN
THE FEDERAL REGISTER ITS PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF SALES AT
LESS THAN FAIR VALUE AND THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE FINAL
DETERMINATION IN THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY INVESTIGATION OF
STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS FROM THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

2. THE SCOPE OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS COVERS DOUBLY-SYMMETRIC
SHAPES, WHETHER HOT- OR COLD-ROLLED, DRAWN, EXTRUDED, FORMED
OR FINISHED, HAVING AT LEAST ONE DIMENSION OF AT LEAST 80 MM
(3.2 INCHES OR MORE), WHETHER OF CARBON OR ALLOY (OTHER THAN
STAINLESS) STEEL, AND WHETHER OR NOT DRILLED, PUNCHED, NOTCHED,
PAINTED, COATED, OR CLAD. THESE STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS
INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, WIDE-FLANGE BEAMS ("W"
SHAPES), BEARING PILES ("HP" SHAPES), STANDARD BEAMS ("S" OR
"I" SHAPES), AND M-SHAPES. ALL THE PRODUCTS THAT MEET THE
PHYSICAL AND METALLURGICAL DESCRIPTIONS PROVIDED ABOVE ARE
WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS UNLESS OTHERWISE
EXCLUDED. THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS ARE OUTSIDE AND/OR
SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM THE SCOPE OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS:
(1) STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS GREATER THAN 400 POUNDS PER LINEAR

FOOT, (2) STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS THAT HAVE A WEB OR SECTION
HEIGHT (ALSO KNOWN AS DEPTH) OVER 40 INCHES, AND (3) STRUCTURAL
STEEL BEAMS THAT HAVE ADDITIONAL WELDMENTS, CONNECTORS OR
ATTACHMENTS TO I-SECTIONS, H-SECTIONS, OR PILINGS; HOWEVER, IF
THE ONLY ADDITIONAL WELDMENT, CONNECTOR OR ATTACHMENT ON THE BEAM
IS A SHIPPING BRACE ATTACHED TO MAINTAIN STABILITY DURING
TRANSPORTATION, THE BEAM IS NOT REMOVED FROM THE SCOPE
DEFINITION BY REASON OF SUCH ADDITIONAL WELDMENT, CONNECTOR OR
ATTACHMENT.

THE MERCHANDISE SUBJECT TO THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLASSIFIED IN
THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES ("HTSUS")
AT SUBHEADINGS 7216.32.0000, 7216.33.0030, 7216.33.0060,

7216.91.0000, 7216.99.0000, 7228.70.3040, AND 7228.70.6000.
ALTHOUGH THE HTSUS SUBHEADINGS ARE PROVIDED FOR CONVENIENCE AND
CUSTOMS PURPOSES, THE WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE MERCHANDISE
UNDER INVESTIGATION IS DISPOSITIVE.

FEDERATION, THE CUSTOMS SERVICE SHALL SUSPEND LIQUIDATIONS OF
